THE EXPRESS ROBBERS.
Wittreck, Weaver and Haight Ac.
knowledge their Guilt and are Sen
fenced to the Penitentiary.
Fotheringham's Case to Come up Later
Weaver Thinks Kinney and Moriarity
Should Go Up Too.

ST. LOUIS, Mo, Jan. 4-The proba-
biiity that Fred W:ttrock, the Adams
Express robber and his confederates
would be brought into the criminal court
to-day, drew large number of people to
the courtroom anxious to catch glimpse
of the famous highwaymen. At IL
O'Clock the grand jury, which was at that
hour expected to be ready to present the
indictments, announced that they
were not ready to report,
and an adjournment was taken
to give them further time, and two sub
sequent adjournments were taken, the
last one until 2 p. m. for the same pur.
pose. At the latter hour when Judge
Normile took his seat the courtroom
was crowded, spectators filling the aisle
and doorway. The grand jury filed in
and took their seats. "Gentlemen, have
you anything to report?" asked the court.
eve have three true bills to return, !"
responded the foreman. The bills were
handed to the judge, who, after looking
them over, dismissed the jury. One of
these was joint Indictment against
Fred Wittrock. Thomas Weaver and Will
liam W. Haight, charging them with lar
ceny from a railroad car. Indictments
charging them with robbery in the first
degree were prepared yesterday, but the
form was changed to The above so that
there might be no difficulty in holding
Messenger FUtheriDgham, for an indict-
ment of robbery in the first degree would
be an admission Of his innocence. At 2:15
o'clock the prisoners were brought into
court.
"If the court please" said Mr.. Clover,
the states attorney, "the defendants IN
this case desire to plead guilty to the
charges in the Indictment" The clerk
then asked defendants if they had heard
the charges. They replied in the affirma-
tive, and to the question as
to whether they were guilty or not,
quietly answered "Gnilty." The states
attorney then recommended that the
extreme penalty, seven years in the peni-
tertiary, be meted out TO Wittrock and
Haight, and that Weaver be given five
year. The judge then sentenced them
IN accordance with the recommendation.
WittroCk and Haight took their sentences
stolcaly, the former remalk king, "We
have made our beds and must lie in them, !"
but Weaver was evidently affected.
He cannot reconcile himself to the idea of
serving sentence when Kinney,
Morarity aud others, who received part
Of the stolen money, are allowed to go at
liberty. After receiving their sentences
the prisoners were led back to their cells
where they will remain until tomorrow,
when they will be taken to the peniten-
tiary at j fferson City.

days GAZETTE q statement from her Dal-
las correspondent SO foreign to truth, and
to the sentiments and views of the larger

week, that the association would
undoubtedly favor the appointment
of a commissio such as proposed by the
Miller bill TO take control of cattle dis
eases and extirpate contagious exotic
bovine diseases, g. tat the members Of
the state association were opposed 10 the
bureau of animal industry because its
agents were not competent to handle anl-
NAL diseases. Never was an association

stockmen of Texas can be said toFbe
united, it is that of opposition to the

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE case of Sarah
Brenagh against William P. Smith, the
former coachman of the late A. T.
Stewart, has been pending in the United
States circuit court for months.
Plaintiff is Irish, and clains to be the sole
heir to the Stewart estate. Gen. Ben
iam!n f. Butler is the counsel. It is
claimed that Mrs. A. T. Stewart
gave q house in East Thirty-ffth
street to Smith in return for his signing
Stewards name to s paper which was
probated as his will. The
plaintiff claims to have number
of letters fIom Stewart proving
her relationship. She brought an action
for Smiths ejectment from the Thirty
fifth street house. Her amended com:
plant of September 30, 1886,
shows that Stewart died intestate
April 10, 1876; seized Of the premises
in question; that the plaintiff is heir and
next of kin of said Stewart;
that defendant is in possession
of the premises in question, claiming
to be the owner thereof, adverse to
plaintiff Defendant demurred to the
complaint on the ground that it failed to
state the facts constituting 8
cause for action. Judge Wallace
to-day in his decision sustained the de-
murrer, but gives plaintiff an opportunity
to amend her complaint upon the pay
ment of costs.

NEW YORK, Jan. 4.-The World says
The action of the Knights OF Labor al
their recent convention In Richmond
in extending the tenure OF office of
General nsster Workman Powderly and
increasing his salary from $500 to $4,000,
JbDth of which proceedings are pronounced
Illegal by many Knights, may lead to a
disruption of the order. 1t was done, it
is said by the leaders of District Assem-
bly, No. 40, upon the. advice of Victor
.pRpFyg who is friend of Herr
Most. 1t is. further alleged
tat the changes were made
IN the order that Powderly might thereby
be made so unpopular with members that
he,WoHld be forced TO resign his office,
and then, it is said, an effort will be
INSIDE to make T. B. Mcclure, at present
one of the executive board, general
master workman, and then to move the
headquarters of the order to this city.
"You may rely upon it," SAID prom
inent Knight yesterday, the scheme OF
making Tom Mcclure general master
workman, and removing the headquar-
tsrs tc this city, has better foundation
than many believe.

IN local markets. IL is estimated that if
only 100 beeves are killed each day,
surplus OF ten tons of ice can be sold at
profit of $3.50 per ton-equal 70 S75 per
dsy-or for the Ice season of eight
months, $4,000. Canning beef and
other products can readily be
added, as all facilities are on hand
here without much additional cost.
Refrigeration Is the only salvation for
stockmen to bring about healthy compe-
tition. To stGckmen the enterprise holds
out a double inducemeut, inasmuch as it
offers home market for their stock and
a proportion of the middle profits"
There is meat in the above for thought,
and from what was learned yesterday
Fort Worth people are thinking.
